Method Development and Improvement Challenge

A unique new method development service using HPLC columns at the cutting edge of current technology is being offered by Crawford Scientific to customers within the UK.

The technical knowledge base built up by the company over its 25 years existence will be used to improve customers existing separations by whatever criteria they are seeking to obtain improvements. This could be resolution, alternate selectivity, speed of analysis or reduced solvent consumption amongst the possibilities.

Tony Taylor, Crawford’s Technical Director, commented: “We have found by talking to customers that new technologies such as sub-2μm particles, superficially porous silica and HILIC phases can cause technology or knowledge barriers within organisations to seeing what actual improvements and benefits can be realised by implementing these columns.”

Tony continued: “We are therefore issuing a challenge to customers to submit their existing HPLC method and Crawfords will visits the site with a translated method followed by a live demo using a 25% discount column from our current list. In this way there is minimum disruption or cost to the customer and everything to gain.”

Columns on the 25% discount list include SILEC Obelisc™ and Primesep® mixed mode (HILIC) phases, Agilent Poroshell 120, superficially porous silica column range and the Agilent Zorbax sub-2μm RRHD range.
